Hell, you can spend $2k on just the Granny's kits if you get all the add-ons.

Truth. A (mostly) running V8 RX-7 that could enter the Challenge this year? Sounds like a pretty good deal to me!

This really does look like a decent deal. There's a similar car for $5k locally. The 305 was a brain dead move, but the work they've done to it should relieve the "smog motor" problem.

I would be really, really interested if it was 2-3 months from now. Right now I have project overload and am just trying to get caught up on what's in front of me already. So why am I here looking at the classifieds? Uhhhh... I can't help it.

that is a pretty good deal but i couldn't, in good conscience, drive something with a 305 when a 350 is what SHOULD have been put in.
can't believe they went with a 305. thats actually the only thing that bums me out about the car though

I would have been happy with just a 572 and a 400 shot, but you guys must be pickier than me.

Sell off enough bits so you can add boost. It will make a 305 seem like a 454.

You'll need to log in to post.
